If a MERGE command contains WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE actions, the merge join condition is used by the executor to distinguish MATCHED from NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE cases. However, this qual is executed using the output from the join subplan node, which nulls the output from the source relation in the not matched case, and so the result may be incorrect if the join condition is "non-strict" -- for example, something like "src.col IS NOT DISTINCT FROM tgt.col". Fix this by enhancing the join recheck condition with an additional "src IS NOT NULL" check, so that it does the right thing when evaluated using the output from the join subplan. Noted by Tom Lane while investigating bug #18634 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to v17, where WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE support was added to MERGE.
